Description
I found the new and ambitious 2015 La Parcelle 8 very ripe, playing with over-ripeness. Perhaps it’s the combination of centenary vines and a warm and dry year that delivered very ripe and concentrated juice, and the wine hits the scale at 15% alcohol, with plenty of tannins. It reminds me of the wines from yesteryear, lacking today’s freshness and balance. It matured in 100% new French oak barrels for 26 months. Will it ever absorb the oak? 15,660 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2017.
